“Hee profit!!!”

The cook who was preparing the food was frightened by the wild tail and took a step back.

“You need a saw to cut meat.”

“What on earth are you bringing like that?! Two deer is enough, right?! Why on earth did you capture the giant constrictor?! Plus, it’s alive, right?!”

“I will cook this myself.”

“Do not bring anything infested with parasites, do it outside!”

The cook went into the kitchen screaming and rushed out with a vicious-looking saw.

“Thank you.”

It seemed good to cut the tail at 2 cubit intervals.

‘I’ll have to cut it all day long.’

“Trigram, are you okay――?!”

huh?

Isabelle is running panting from afar.

“I will do something unpleasant. Stay away.”

“No! Let me help you!”

Even though she couldn’t read her emotions, the wrinkled forehead and quivering corners of her mouth represented Isabel’s feelings.

···I was angry.

Not to me, but to myself.

I thought now was the time to nail it.

“Humans are weak. If things had gone the way they were, everyone would have died.”

“···Yes.”

“As humans, we have to fight against these guys for at least half a year.”

“Yes.”

“So don’t be picky and accept everything I teach.”

Isabel catches the running tail and crushes it.

It wasn’t much help, but I liked it nonetheless.

Because it seemed like he was fundamentally a good person.

“Puhuhuh···.”

“What’s funny?”

Isabel wrinkles her brow and looks at me.

Then you want to bother me again.

“This is what you should eat too.”

“Yes?! What?!”

“It’s a lie.”

You’ll probably have to fight a basilisk in the future as well.

A chosen race of servants with four hands.

“···People are worried, so they make jokes like that?!”

“How can you do this if you don’t come out?”

Soon, the apprentice technicians began to approach the kitchen one by one.

Curiosity, embarrassment, regret, fear, excitement…

All kinds of emotions arose, but the most intense one was ’embarrassment’.

“···I’ll help you.”

“Me too.”

“You, let’s cut from the end with me.”

The apprentice knights silently paired up in pairs and began helping dismember the meat with daggers, and Lamia’s lower body was removed in an instant.

The severed lower body and arms were all placed in a cart and covered with a tarpaulin as a finishing touch.

‘I’ll take this out at night and throw it away.’

After some processing was completed, Coober approached me.

“This guy…immortal turned into Laquilo.”

“That’s right.”

“How did you know? Since when? How?”

“While hunting deer, I found Lamia’s items.”

When I think about it, the question is still not resolved.

Why didn’t Laquilo rebel against Immortal?

“When I was learning tracking techniques, I felt like I was kidnapped while doing something personal. The stomach was cut open to prevent gas, and placed in a jar mixed with preservatives and water.”

Amira and Susan’s faces hardened.

Guilt, embarrassment and fear.

‘···I guess I was harassed again.’

Still, it’s not your fault he died.

“It was written on the jar lid. Find the person who smells like a shadow.”

“Uh, that! I’ve heard of it!”

The elf Supra’s scream rang out.

“Lamia is a master of poison. Most hosots and terubs believe in their sense of smell, but Lamia can block a demi-human’s sense of smell by spraying poisonous gas. The same goes for Basilisk.”

Fear began to appear in Coober’s eyes.

Sensation is relative.

For them, the sense of smell is a sense organ so sensitive that it is similar to hearing.

Thanks to this, you feel like a transparent partner is approaching you.

“If you enter the opponent’s attack range without knowing anything like just now, Lamia can even defeat an ogre.”

Moreover, he was an executive officer.

If that Lamia had a spear, the apprentice knights would have been wiped out.

Executors were those people.

“So let’s learn tracking skills diligently.”

Now I have to clean up the deer.

I cleaned the saw with a new tool and headed inside the kitchen.

“You had a hard time. I can roast at least one deer, so eat it and go.”

* * * * * *

Of course no one ate it.

Cut up human meat and eat deer meat?

Although they did not kill him with their own hands, most of them saw it for the first time as they saw a person being killed by the same person.

“It’s delicious.”

Except Isabelle and Jean.

Jean seemed to have been dragged in helplessly, but Isabelle was calm.

‘I like it.’

If it were me, I wouldn’t even be able to eat meat because I would be so nauseous.

“Eat a lot.”

Did I feel something?

Isabelle and Jean no longer grumbled.

“I’m sorry. I thought my brother was suddenly trying to kill Laquilo…”

“That’s it.”

I ate a rich stew made from meat for soup.

I really like the sweet and salty combination, which is said to be the truth of taste.

···Your face is bruised.

When I threw it, it looks like its face was crushed in the dirt.

I opened the cap of the perfume bottle and poured a drop of sacred blood into Jean’s stew.

“That…”

“Reversal medicine. The blood of a saint that the king desired.”

I closed the lid and put the perfume bottle in my belt.

“Eat all the soup without leaving a single drop behind. Because it’s expensive.”

“···Thank you.”

Jean’s hand holding the plate turned white, showing his determination not to spill a single drop.

All of the immortals I dealt with were originally human.

‘My heart sank all at once.’

I never imagined that an immortal, not a human, would be this strong.

If it had been an ordinary person, the moment the lamia hit him, not only would his chest bone have caved in, but his spine would have been broken.

The reason my body is strong is thanks to my muscles.

Isabelle was looking at the pocket where my perfume bottle was with something unpleasant in her eyes.

“Isabel. We are the only two who can compete directly with Immortal. The enemy will definitely be keeping an eye on us for killing our comrade.”

“···Are you saying there is more of the same thing as before?”

“Yes. There are definitely more people who have taken advantage of other people’s reputations.”

We need to teach them how to distinguish between immortals.

I don’t know if it’s other people, but at least to my younger brother.

Isabelle just looked at me blankly.

“···What on earth are you doing in society?”

“It’s a secret.”

* * * * * *

After eating meat all day, I ate meat again for dinner.

Isabelle and Jean ran out due to hunger.

Other than that, the mood of other people was not so good.

A person belonging to the same group died.

This silence was not in remembrance of him.

He cringed at the fact that he could also become a target.

“Representative of apprentice engineer.”

“Yes.”

“Come to the administration office.”

Bessie’s expression wasn’t that bright either.

How lonely is this as the rainy season approaches?

“I’ll be there right away.”

I got up from my seat and headed straight to the hallway.

As I entered the administrative office, I saw Lamia lying roughly on the floor.

‘···It’s already playing.’

Lamia, whose limbs had been cut off, was lying on the floor looking at the ceiling with a bored expression on her face.

The man standing next to him was someone he had never seen before.

A gargoyle with rubbery skin and black iron-clad skin.

“Are you the representative of the 452nd trainee engineer who had a scary girlfriend?”

“That’s right.”

When I salute, the gargoyle roughly gestures for me to put my hand down.

“The death of my classmate was unfortunate.”

“It’s okay.”

All I can do is done.

I thought it was out of my hands, but what business do you have?

“Speaking of Geodujeolmi. The reason I came here is to use that immortal as a prisoner.”

Are you going to ‘use’ prisoners?

“···Are you planning to sell it to Yunaira?”

“Okay. A letter just arrived. Let’s exchange prisoners.”

gibberish.

“It is impossible. It was today that that woman’s true identity was revealed. Only three hours have passed. How can I receive a letter?”

“But it came.”

The gargoyle’s eyes did not tell lies.

This meant that the military was teeming with immortals.

“So, I am trying to bury the incident itself.”

“Aren’t there already victims who have been brutally murdered?”

“Not everyone can distinguish between immortals and ordinary people like the apprentice knight representative. Afterwards, everyone in the Great Wall will start to get scared. Haven’t you seen for yourself how strong they are?”

This means that someone has died and they will just ignore it to avoid causing controversy.

How can injustice happen here that doesn’t happen in Yunaira?

It’s none of my business, but it wasn’t a very nice sight.

“Yes. I saw it. But it doesn’t matter how strong they are. Aren’t they enemies?”

“As you said, they are enemies. The problem is that anxiety within the military is increasing.”

It’s Sam Mosa.

Why did you reveal this fact to me in the first place?

“Think about it carefully. Just by handing over that immortal, you can rescue fifty prisoners.”

“Why are you telling me that?”

“Because you and your colleagues are the only witnesses.”

“···Are you telling me to keep my mouth shut?”

“It’s good to talk. It is obvious that this immortal will take over a year just to regenerate its severed limbs.”

“Tyler’s morale will fall to the bottom. If someone you were in close contact with dies and you just ignore it, how can my classmate trust you?”

“I know that this is against morality. Instead, at my discretion as commander, I will ensure that no one is eliminated and can become a knight. So, let the CEO of the apprentice engineer persuade you well.”

It has nothing to do with me.

I know, but I have to be the chief engineer.

The commander puts Lamia, with only her body remaining, in the net and carries it on his shoulder.

“However, the moment the rumor spreads, it becomes like this never happened.”

Can not help it.

“Okay.”

─Hey.

A voice is heard from inside the mangtaegi.

“What is it?”

─Where did you put my gourd?

“It is there where you were buried. A place where a child who didn’t live half as long as you did was marinated in preservatives.”

─Hehehe… Really? You’re such a good kid who doesn’t pick up other people’s lost belongings.

Although I couldn’t see his face, the low laughter coming from the mangtaegi made my head more and more confused.

─Don’t touch it. Because I’m going to go find it.

I came to the military with a purpose, and in order to achieve that, I could no longer voice unfair opinions to my superiors.

However, I have a question.

“Of all murderers, aren’t the easiest to identify murderers the same way, leaving behind symbolic traces?”

─But?

“Why are you doing such a thing?”

─There’s no way you wouldn’t know that, right?

I see

That Lamia knew that I was ‘a person who smells like a shadow’.

“Why wasn’t Laquilo wary of you?”

-She knew my identity from the beginning. But, he asked me to do it. I want you all to die.

─Then I told you your names and characteristics. I thought it was a trick and killed him. Thank me.

“······Quuk! yes. Thank you.”

Laquilo was Laquilo until the end.

─I’ll tell you my regards.

Lamia kept quiet, and the commander left, carrying the enemy on his shoulders.

Shir will know that I am here.

I don’t know how Yunaira was captured, but she will definitely do whatever it takes to get in touch with me.

The fact that Shir’s taste and Venus’ blessing still remain in my body means that Shir is still looking for me.

─For 15 years.

dizzy.

Shir is luring me to the point where he takes my precious things as collateral.

‘How is Lexi doing?’

Seth said that Lexi was captured by Shir.

Although the true intention is unknown, Shir can never lay a hand on Lexi.

─If that happens, Shir will die to me.

If Shir wants me, he knows it.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

“The cover-up of the incident has been decided, so we are going to secretly bury the body tomorrow. Please spread the message to the 26 apprentices.”

You don’t have to go all the way.

This is because the apprentice knights want to be stimulated by seeing the corpse.

“···I found out today. The wall of the large intestine has rotted away.”

Director Yang Yang looks at me.

The sunken eyes clearly showed what Director Yang was thinking, even if he did not reveal his emotions.

okay. It would be a waste to sacrifice my life for a place like this.

“Never forget today’s negativity.”

“Yes. I will tell you that.”

It was a little rough.

As Lexi said, I tried hard to live childishly.

So I enjoyed the world as much as I could.

Because I lived a life of bondage in my past life, I turned my eyes away from my past life.

I did a lot of crazy things, and a lot of fun things happened.

I caught a glimpse of the beautiful scenery.

Comfortably and slyly, without any second thoughts.

─I didn’t know life could be this much fun.

Why was my life worthless?

I realized that it was because my life was boring.

I fell into Pangea and traveled through this world that I had not really paid attention to for 7 years.

I met a lot of people and saved someone.

I also gained a sense of belonging by looking at cute young children of my age.

However, it looks like the dream will eventually come to an end.

‘Shir, thank you.’

For reminding me once again why I came here.

At least the children I was attached to gave me an opportunity not to sacrifice.

“I will convey the situation to my classmates.”
